As a licensed Professional Engineer in Washington, Idaho, and Montana, William brings practical engineering expertise and a commitment to delivering successful projects from concept through construction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike larger firms where projects are often passed between multiple staff members, clients work directly with William throughout the life of their project. This hands-on approach ensures clear communication, responsive service, and engineering solutions tailored to each client&#8217;s goals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">William believes the best engineering solutions are developed not only in the office, but also in the field. Throughout his career, he has worked closely with contractors, inspectors, equipment operators, and construction crews to understand the realities of construction. He values input from the professionals who ultimately build the projects and incorporates practical field experience into the design process whenever possible. This collaborative approach helps produce plans that are clear, constructable, and efficient to build.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1.25rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-0aa01211 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-rounded is-style-rounded--1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34\" srcset=\"https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/truegradecivil.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_0583-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-base-color has-contrast-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-248f7c56 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-heading-font-family has-base-color has-text-color has-x-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">Our Mission\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-e42cfab0 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At True Grade Civil, our mission is simple: provide clients with a direct relationship with a Professional Engineer from initial project conception through design, permitting, construction, and project closeout.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe successful projects are built on clear communication, practical design, and a thorough understanding of how projects are constructed in the real world. Our focus is on delivering simplified, constructable engineering solutions that keep projects moving efficiently, control costs, and provide lasting value.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining sound engineering principles with feedback from those who build, inspect, and maintain infrastructure, we strive to create designs that work both on paper and in the field.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether supporting private development, public infrastructure improvements, or transportation projects, our goal is to help clients navigate challenges with confidence and bring their vision to life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet William Gillen, P.E.
